Mayawati-led Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) is comfortably placed in Gola Gokrannath assembly constituency. This can be gauged from the fact that though the BJP candidate from the Kheri Lok Sabha constituency, Ajay Kumar had won the parliamentary seat in 2014 by defeating his nearest BSP rival Arvind Giri by 110274 votes, the former had trailed behind the latter in the Gola Gokrannath assembly segment by 23236 votes.
